Subject: RE: Election Results/International
Tim Within our e-democracy programme here in UK, we are looking at all voting that is required by statute. So that would include for us votes taken by our Trade Unions where they have calculated votes based on delegate allocations, which sounds the same as the situations you quote, unless I've mis-interpreted what you're saying? It seems reasonable therefore to work on the basis that there could be more than one reported result. John -----Original Message----- From: Tim Bovee [mailto:tbovee@ap.org] Sent: 22 August 2001 17:54 To: election-services@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: Election Results/International I'm looking at the issue of reporting votes in an international context, with an eye specifically to ensuring election-agency reports will work smoothly with news-media election systems. In the United States, results from the secretaries of state, who handle elections, are votes only, although there are types of elections where other results are calculated downstream. For example: Presidential races have popular votes (reported), but also electoral votes (calculated). Some party presidential primaries have popular votes (reported), but also delegate allocations (calculated). The question then would be should there be provision for more than one REPORTED result from an election authority for a candidate in a race in an election?
